Politics: Bush Asks Justice Dept. to Investigate Voter Fraud Claims

October 28th, 2008

Bush asks Justice Dept. to investigate voter fraud claims. President Bush has asked the Department of Justice to look into a request by House Republican Leader John Boehner that would force Ohio’s secretary of State to provide local election officials with information on 200,000 newly registered voters with mismatched registration data, The Washington Post reports. The move would make it possible for Republicans to issue challenges to many of these voters, perhaps forcing them to cast provisional ballots. Acceptance of provisional ballots are at the discretion of voting officials. Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Ohio Republicans’ attempts to force Democratic Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner to provide the information on mismatches to local officials. But Boehner announced Monday that he had sent a letter earlier this week to Attorney General Michael Mukasey, asking him to take action, and had not gotten a response. He then turned to the White House for help – warning in a letter to President Bush that if no action was taken, “there is a significant risk, if not a certainty, that unlawful votes will be cast and counted.”  Jon Greenbaum of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, told the Post: “This is taking the politicization of this to a new level.” However, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino characterized the move as “a routine step that would be taken for any such request from a congressional leader.”
